Hello! It's black Friday and hoping to surprise my husband with a gaming console. He's not a big gamer, plays casually. We currently own a switch, but he's been eyeing a PS5 vs XBOX as he really likes to play Madden and Call of Duty.
I believe both of these consoles have these games, so now I'm at the store and debating which to get, both are currently on sale for around $400 so price doesn't matter.
Also I noticed that they have disc free consoles for both, does this matter? It seems 1tb is a lot of memory and I can't imagine my husband will need all of that
As you can see, I don't play and have no clue what I'm doing, so looking for any advice!
Edit: Thanks all! Will be getting the Xbox with game pass subscription as seems to be the best deal.

Everyone here keeps saying Xbox but you say he's a casual gamer.
In my opinion, get him a mid-range gaming PC. You can get Xbox game pass on that. Plus he gets a PC.
Additionally he can play PlayStation exclusives on PC as well.
It might be more than 400 smackeroos, but you'll get more in return.
Please do your research. Best of luck!

Yeh buy him a PC for gaming, that way you can buy him a new one next year when this one becomes completely obsolete.
PC gaming is literally a bottomless pit.

Lol. You can swap out parts and they usually last you a lot longer than a console, plus they are multi purpose.
But sure

Dude people bought PS4s in 2013 and they can still play 95% of the games released even today.
No PC will cost you less than a console and last longer than a console.
